The Renaissance – 1400-1600

Italy became the leader in the European aromatic oils. The Italian influence swept through France with the help of marriage Caterina De Medici to France’s Prince Henri II. At this time the French aromatic oils and perfumes became popular and extravagant. The French used fragrance for all. By the 16th century many of the oils in use today have been isolated and distilled for general use. At this time perfume and aromatic oils moved away from its original religious and medicinal practices and became a symbol of extravagance and luxury. In the 16th century Europeans believed bathing was unhealthy, and perfumes were used to achieve offensive body odor. In the 18th century the French discovered the TB bacillus could be killed by clove oil, and thyme helped rid typhus bacteria so dominant at the time of

Golden Age -. 1600 -1700

known as the golden age of English herbalists 1600s gave us a lot Astrologer doctor, Nicholas Culpepper and herbalist, John Parkinson. At this time was divided between herbalists and traditional doctors. Both were known to use essential oils if herbalists use essential oils less than herbs. The dosage for essential oils had been established by this time the need for dilution and methods of application clearly known. The healing properties of essential oils were recognized.

Europe 1800-1900

The general use of essential oils and aromatics plant health was established. With the return of bubonic plague demand for aromatic oils significantly increased. It was the great plagues Toulouse (1628-1631) as the recipe was reported about four thieves caught stealing from plague victims. This began the story of the Four Thieves which was recorded in the archives of the Toulouse Parliament. To phrase their way to thieves reported secret recipe after they were hanged. Over the next few centuries essential oils were identified and their characteristics and applications were registered.

In 1868 the first synthetic fragrance oils were produced. These synthetic fragrances were unsuitable for therapeutic use. In 1887, Parisian doctor’s first modern documented studies of antiseptic properties of essential oils. Research Chamberland confirmed that essential oils kill viruses, bacteria and fungus. Before WWII essential oil research attracted as much research attention as conventional medicine. Nobel prizes were awarded Otto Wallach and Adolf von Baeyer for their contribution in essential oil research. Then chemists began to isolate the active ingredients within aromatic plants and then produced synthetically. Since this science became more sophisticated herbs and essential oils were replaced by synthetic drugs. It was found that the chemical agents, who worked with the stronger, could be produced more easily and were cheaper.

The term “aromatherapy” is an article other medicines argues that special “scent” go with essential oils have therapeutic effect. The healing art “aromatherapy” traces back to 4,000 BC where Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Persians used to burn herbs and flowers for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. In ancient Egypt, plant oils were widely used for spiritual relaxation, cosmetics, and lubrication and mummification of the dead.

The term “aromatherapy candle” is used loosely in Western societies, because unlike other cultures, mainly use “aromatherapy candle” for “aesthetic” qualities vs healing properties. We want a soothing, calming scent to assist in meditation, bathing and relaxing activities.

Natural candles are becoming more popular with the development of natural waxes such as soy wax and palm wax. It is more the desire of consumers to go “green” with all natural ingredients in candle making. With all natural soy wax, which is renewable, grown right here in the United States has gained popularity for several years, since the development of soy wax, soy wax is 1998. hydrogenated soybean oil which is non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Combining all natural ingredients, including natural scents, to “aromatherapy” candles is highly desirable.

A lot of so-called “aromatherapy” candles out on the market today contain paraffin wax (a byproduct of crude oil process) and fragrance oils that are chemically processed. Some major manufacturers have paraffin wax, along with the natural scent. Some people have a natural wax together with substances derived synthetic scents. My idea of ​​natural “aromatherapy candle” is one that is all natural. So, what are the natural smell? They are essential oils

Essential oils are volatile parts of plants, trees, fruits and roots are processed by various methods :. Steam distillation, cold-press extraction, chemical solvent extraction and effleurage method. Essential oils that are “clean” mostly have the botanical name of the jar, and comes in dark-colored bottles for protection from sunlight. They should be stored in cool, dark places, and out of reach of children and pets. An essential oil is mixed with carrier oils such as jojoba, and are considered “diluted”. Some candle manufacturers sell “essential oils”, but they come in clear plastic containers and are synthetically derived, or mixed with alcohol or other solvents.

Due to the concentrated nature, pure essential oils can be more expensive than fragrance oils and come in small bottles – Darius (1/8 oz), 1/6 ounce, etc. They either have a closed lid or dropper to disperse essential oils .. Prices can range from anywhere from $ 5 to $ 75 a fraction of an ounce of pure essential oils.

So, how do you use essential oils in the candle making? Good question – and there are many answers to that question, depending on who you talk to. When I tried initially to study this subject a year ago, there was very little information out on the Internet, with a candle supply company, or any e-books I bought. One year later, there is a wide variety of answers that have appeared in articles, candle supply websites, and so-called “candle expert”. Some experts argue that the use of a pound of wax is 1 oz – which is similar to using aroma oils. Now, 1 oz of pure essential oils can be either incredibly strong or incredibly expensive. Others argue that by using as little 3-20 drops / pound of wax

I personally believe that aromatherapy candles should be used much less essential oils and fragrance oils for two reasons :.

1 Style & Taste. When essential oils in aromatherapy candles, I want a gentler, less dominant, natural aroma fragrance of essential oils. I do not want to over-power Cinnamon Spice fragrance oil fragrance is going to fill up my house for days. I want “natural” candle, because I want a soothing, relaxing, mild, fresh, natural aroma that gives just enough scent to calm my mind for a beautiful bubble bath, meditation, yoga or Pilates exercises. I do not want to compete with the aroma of what I’m trying to reach -. Relaxation

2. Cost. Essential oils are expensive, and the cost should be considered when buying and using “pure” essential oil candle making. First of all one DRAM (1/8 oz) of 100% pure peppermint oil (made right here in the USA) on the sale was $ 5 / DRAM plus shipping. Honestly, do you feel it is cost effective to use $ 5 peppermint oil in one 8-12 oz. soy candles? I do not think, in addition, it may be too high. Fragrance oils (mainly Synthetics) can be 10 times cheaper to buy in bulk. I have used mixtures of essential oils with 1/6 oz. and made three 12 ml. soy candles, and they were perfectly fragrant. So what is the cost / benefit rule you need to apply to determine how much you are willing to pay to achieve the desired result.

Another important consideration in the amount of essential oils to be used in candle making, using wax manufacturers lead in how much fragrance / essential oils will absorb the wax in order to make safe candle. I mainly use 100% soy wax candle making my and manufacturers recommendations using 3-9% of fragrance oil per pound of soy wax. There are additives that can increase the percentage, but I mainly use 1 oz. fragrance oil / pound of soy wax, which is about 6%. When using essential oils, I use much less than 1% / pound of wax. It all depends on how strong or pure natural oil and my taste, of course!

So, with the facts explained using essential oils is a matter of style, taste and cost. If you are selling your candles, you pass the costs to consumers, but hopefully you can market and price your candles effectively to sell them at a profit. If you are making candles for your own satisfaction, it is a question of what you are comfortable with -. Gentler / stronger, and if cost is a factor for you

Aromatherapy Goes Underground

During the Dark Ages, aromatherapy went underground. The Catholic Church banned all kinds of all-natural remedies because they believed all illnesses to be God’s punishment. Only prayer and some bleeding can heal you. This ban lasted for centuries. The Renaissance and Enlightenment eras, herbal remedies were largely ignored in favor of more abstract scientific methods. Aside from the development of perfumes and some medical research in the 19th century, this rejection aromatherapy continued until quite recently.

Modern Aromatherapy was discovered by accident

Of course, here aromatherapy practices back to the early days of mankind, but a modern form found by accident. In the 1920s, French chemist Rene Maurice Gattefosse burned his hand during an experiment, and soak it in Lavender because he had nothing else well. He was surprised at how quickly wound healing and went to investigate other herbs. He was the one who coined the term “aromatherapy.”

Now, aromatherapy has gained wide recognition as a viable method to treat all kinds of ailments. Since the beginning of history, through the rejection of the Church and science, it has made its way to our modern world, where everyone can enjoy the benefits.
